In today’s job market, superior digital know-how is a must. Here are three of the biggest trends you need to understand in 2013.

The Cloud No, not the new movie from the Matrix creators. Cloud computing makes files and applications available over the Internet—music, photos, databases, word processing programs and more. In fact, the Cloud, in simplistic terms, is the Internet.

There’s a heap of jargon to keep up with, but you can get certified in cloud computing. Companies providing courses are Amazon, Rackspace, Google, and Salesforce. Prices start around $500.

Mobile According to Forbes, in 2013, mobile devices will pass PCs as the most common Web access tools. They are revolutionizing the way people do work and interact with companies. Whether you’re in finance, retail or restaurants, mobile is going to be a factor in your business. Mobile banking, for instance, is now used by 33% of mobile consumers, up from 24 percent in 2011. Figuring out how to give your company a mobile strategy, or advancing the one you have, is vital in this environment.
